ATTENDANCE REQUIREMENTS

Student attendance is of primary concern at AISK.  Students should make all efforts to attend school every day for the school year.  Parents are strongly encouraged to not excuse students from school for the purposes of extending vacations, outside activities or for minor ailments.  Upon returning to school after an absence, parents must call, send an email, or a note, signed by a parent/ guardian or physician, indicating the dates and reasons for the absence.  This note must be taken or sent to the Principal’s office before returning to class.

The school does not condone the unexcused absence of students and respects the rights of those students present not to be held back by those absent. At least 90% attendance is required to attain credit for a yearlong course or promotion to the next grade level.

Absence due to illness:

The student, parent, and teacher share in the responsibility of initiating and following up on the completion of make-up work.

Absence due to travel:

It is the student’s and parents’ responsibility to complete all make-up work.

TARDINESS
Students are expected to arrive at school and to class on time.  If a student arrives at school after 8:00 a.m., he/she must go directly to class.  He/she will be marked tardy in Power School (our school information management system).

PERMISSION TO LEAVE SCHOOL

Parent/guardian is required to communicate to the teacher when a student needs to leave school before regular dismissal time.  Date, time of departure and the person to whom the child will be released must be stated.  The parent/guardian must sign for the student’s early dismissal in the office.  Parents are strongly encouraged to make routine medical, dental and other appointments outside of school hours, so the learning is not disrupted.

ILLNESS

Children with a severe rash, fever, diarrhea, contagious probability, and/or vomiting must remain at home and be free of symptoms for at least 24 hours before returning to school.  Any contagious illnesses or conditions must be reported to the school.  Communicable diseases, such as head lice, ringworm, and impetigo must be reported to the Principal and School Nurse.  Even if thought to be a communicable disease, a report will be made and parents will be contacted.  The child may be required to report to school with a doctor's note stating that the issue has been dealt with and the child has been cleared.

In the event of injury, any action the Head of School deems necessary will be taken to ensure the well-being of the child.  The office will make every attempt to contact the parents before any action is taken.  An Accident/Illness Report will be completed by AISK the Principal.  One copy will be kept on file at school and one copy will be sent home.

MEDICATION PROCEDURES

All medication should be sent to the nurse, and will only be administered following specific directions from a physician.  If a student becomes ill at school, parents will be notified and asked to promptly pick up their child.

Please do not send your child to school if he/she has a fever. If a student develops a fever during school, we will administer Tylenol or Advil (if we have a signed Over-The-Counter Medication Form). We will then contact you to come and get him/her. If you have given permission through the AISK permission form, the nurse will administer ONLY over the counter medication.  Parents will be notified in this event.

STUDENT EXPECTATIONS

DRESS CODE
